TEXTILES
No matter which type of fabric you choose for your furniture cushions, you can rest assured that Gloster only uses the best outdoor fabrics
for maximum resistance to the fading and degrading effects of sunlight. All Gloster fabrics are finished with a water-repellent coating on the
surface to reduce water absorbency. If the fabric does become wet from prolonged exposure, they will come to no harm, and the fabrics will
dry out naturally. Gloster furniture cushions are offered with fabrics that fall into three distinct groups:
OUTDOOR PERFORMANCE
Offered in a wide selection of stylish and sophisticated fabrics with a soft hand, our Outdoor Performance cushions use the softest, most
luxurious fillings that give the feel of the most comfortable indoor furniture. A highly water-resistant barrier beneath the outer fabric cover
protects the fillings, keeping drying times to a minimum.
MAXIMUM WATER RESISTANCE
For maximum water resistance, a selection of fabrics feature a water-resistant coating that is applied to the back face, helping prevent water
travelling beyond the surface of the fabric. Although not offering quite the same soft hand as our other fabrics, these water-resistant fabrics
are very practical and quick drying. The fillings inside the cushion are engineered using open cell materials to allow for maximum air circulation,
helping to speed up the drying process even further.
MAXIMUM SOFT TOUCH
Combining with all the benefits present in Outdoor Performance cushions, Gloster offers this range of exclusive, knitted outdoor fabrics, the
first to be produced using 100% solution dyed acrylic yarns. These knitted fabrics offer the ultimate in terms of softness, giving a sumptuous
cosy feel, while the inherent stretch allows for the perfect fit to even the most demanding of cushion shapes. The Wave fabrics feature a
unique, 3D knitted structure giving levels of texture and softness unparalleled in outdoor fabrics.
TEXTILES SPECIAL FEATURES
WATER RESISTANT TEXTILES
These fabrics are treated with a weatherproof coating that minimises water absorption and enables the cushion
to dry out much faster than standard fabrics. Fabrics can be completely moisture-free within minutes after a
simple wipe-down. When wet, the fabric threads expand slightly, meaning any water simply beads up on the
fabric surface, rather than seeping into the cushion filling and leaving behind residual moisture. These fabrics are
a little stiffer than the traditional Sunbrella fabrics, but they share the same market-leading performance in terms
of durability, fade resistance, and ease of cleaning - making them the ideal choice for all outdoor living and dining
spaces.
RECYCLED CONTENT TEXTILES
Recycled fabrics combine up to 50% post-industrial recycled fibre with virgin fibre to achieve vintage charm, rich
colouration, soft feel and excellent performance. Due to the nature of the recycled content, recycled yarns may
exhibit random colour specks and shade variation. These slubs can sometimes be a contrasting colour.
The recycled and virgin fibres are blended to help ensure that the product meets stringent performance
standards. Due to the recycled nature of this fabric, the colour may vary between production batches and large
sections of recycled yarns may run sporadically throughout the fabric. The presence of these recycled yarns
should not be interpreted as imperfection, but as part of the character of the recycled fabric.
